They have that new feature to watch up to 4 games in one screen. Pretty pumped for that.




I thought they did that only for March madness but that seems cool

They probably are. I don't know who owns YouTube, Fubo or Sling.

I was actually looking at Sling. It had everything I needed, but I had heard at one point hat they would have buffering problems and that's a no go for me during football season. I have an extremely fast connection, so I'm not sure if that is the only problem with the buffering or if there are underlying issues. I also heard they were working to fix it, so....

Just cranked up the multiscreen this year, I think. Supposedly with a better picture, I think. But honestly? The picture I have been getting while streaming has been excellent anyway.

I've had sling since day one. The only time I've had buffering issues was when I used the Xbox one app.

Switched to fire TV and use the app and havent had any problems since.

Good to know Kengel! I have a Samsung Smart TV and a Firestick for APPS I can't get off Samsung. Looks like Sling is back in the mix.

Any down side to any of the services mentioned? particularly YouTube TV and Sling?

I looked at Hulu, but they are owned by Walt Disney company and are in that mix of ABC, Walt Disney, ESPN...and I just can't give them money.

Typically I do not make politics an issue for football, actors, musicians unless they make it an issue.

Yes. I realize a lot of people are going to criticize this but it is what it is.


Most companies are doing something political, youtube included, that a lot of people aren't aware of. Can't really avoid it at this point.

If you don't mind...what is it about Sling you don't like? I'd like positives and negatives of the services so I can make an informed decision.

This is true. When I become aware of it, I try to avoid the company and not do business with them. That said...like you and others have pointed out it is almost unavoidable.

One day companies will wake up and realize that they should provide products and services and let people decide what they believe politically and support what they want. It's just not good business. One side or the other is going to give you a backlash.

If you have multiple TVs and want to use them all, you might to find which one let's you have the most streams. My kids aren't really old enough to watch TV by themselves so we get by with the single stream and then they watch Disney or Netflix.

I had issues with Sling during the championship game. I think I’ll try YouTube this year.

I switched over from Dish and guess it’s just harder to navigate and get the channels that you want to watch.
But it is priced reasonably.
I can’t really compare it to you tube or another streaming channel. Because I have not tried the others .

I like FuboTV. It has a multi screen option on the Apple TV app. Which is really good.
